Sarah Jane Weaves

 

Sarah Jane Weaves began as an experiment in lockdown 2020 and turned into a regular thing. Sarah creates modern wall hangings with graphic and whimsical designs using a hand loom. She sells on Instagram and through Mitchell Studios in Khandallah, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, with all profits going to Aotearoa women’s charities.

Adventures in colour while reading Rachel O’Neill!

Feeling festive with this free pattern from @blueflowerstitching 🧑‍🎄🦛❤️
